Domaine François Raquillet Mercurey 1er Cru Les Vasées 2018

Domaine François Raquillet Mercurey Les Vasées 2018 is a beautifully expressive Premier Cru Pinot Noir from one of Mercurey’s most characterful sites. Known as the most fruit-forward wine in the domaine’s Premier Cru range, it combines supple texture, generous red fruit, and the classic finesse of Burgundy in a style that is both approachable and refined.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this Mercurey typically shows a bright ruby-red colour with youthful depth. The nose is distinctly Pinot Noir, offering aromas of ripe red berries, dark cherry, and subtle earthy spice, with a delicate oak influence adding polish rather than weight. On the palate, Les Vasées is rounded and silky, with a very pleasing mouthfeel and good structure underneath the fruit. The balance of freshness, concentration, and smooth texture gives it real charm, while its Premier Cru pedigree suggests it will continue to gain complexity over time. It is recommended to enjoy around 5–7 years after the vintage for the best expression, though it can age gracefully beyond that.

Viininvalmistus
Les Vasées comes from a Premier Cru vineyard in Mercurey, one of the key communes of the Côte Chalonnaise in Burgundy, where Pinot Noir thrives on limestone-rich soils with good drainage and plenty of exposure. The fruit is vinified with a careful, traditional approach, then matured for 12 months in oak barrels, including around 30% new oak. After a light filtration, the wine is bottled to preserve its fruit purity and fine texture.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine pairs wonderfully with roast poultry, duck, game birds, mushroom-based dishes, veal, and classic Burgundian cuisine such as coq au vin. It is best served slightly cool, around 15–17°C, and while decanting is not essential, a short decant can help open up its aromas if the wine is enjoyed young.
